Counselling With Dawn
Do you have a longstanding difficulty that you feel ready to explore? Do you pretend to function well on the outside but feel down, unmotivated and lack confidence on the inside? Are you no longer enjoying the things you once did, not quite sure what is going on for you but know something does not feel right? Feeling anxious, experiencing difficulties with relationships or finding it hard to deal with a bereavement or a loss of some sort?
These issues and many others can throw us off course in life, momentarily losing ourselves. Or maybe more simply, there is a curiosity and desire to get to know yourself better. I believe that we have it within ourselves to figure out a way forward.
The Counselling process will always be at your pace, we will work through things as they come up for you. I will never direct you, I will always be guided by you. I am the passenger on your journey and you are very much the driver. I work on the understanding that you are the expert in you, you may just need a little support to bring that expert to fruition.
It takes strength to seek change in our life and often in order for change, we need to be the ones to change. Counselling can be a good starting point on this journey. Gaining a deeper self-awareness of ourselves is the best tool, this greater understanding of one's self can help us look at things differently and offer personal growth. I provide a space for authentic connection where together we can begin to explore and understand your inner world, figuring out what is important to you and the various parts of your life that are troubling you. Our mental wellbeing is an integral part of our lives. Therefore, I am interested in you as an individual and what matters to you. My role is not to judge but to support you in finding your individual path to positive wellbeing. I wish for all my clients to live the best life possible and to feel more at peace.
I am registered with COSCA, Scotland’s professional body for Counselling and Psychotherapy and MNCPS, The National Counselling Society. I work within their Ethical Code of Practice. I can if you wish offer a free introductory call to explain more about what to expect and how the process works. Everyone's journey is different, some clients feel better after a few sessions, while others may require longer-term counselling. I will conduct regular reviews to explore whether you feel the process is helping and whether you are getting what you need from my support.
I fully appreciate Counselling may not be for everyone and this is also okay. Counselling works best when the client believes that it could help them or that it is an approach that inherently makes sense to them.
If you feel ready to begin please book now or if you have any questions about counselling please contact me.
